Do you "Really" want to understand Quantum Mechanics? Start with Bells Inequality.
An illustrated explanation of Entanglement, The Mermin Device and Bells Inequality.
The felt presence of God is real as an experience
The felt presence of God is real as an experience, and as evidence that God exists it is close to silent: it would look the same whether or not God existed.
Why? When two Open-Weight models talk only to each other, they drift toward consciousness
Results of a controlled experiment. Language model invited to converse with another instance of itself has many possible subjects available, and surprisingly they very often converge into consciousness related topics, awareness, gratitude, and silence.
Do Astra/Fable models behave like a junior colleague? You just brief and delegate tasks at a high level?
Models now operate more like capable junior colleagues you brief at a high level: they fill gaps, ask clarifying questions only when it matters, carry multi-step work across applications, and produce finished artifacts.
Chat, Code, Agents, Harnesses, CoWork: Which one for What?

An Honest Confession: Why You Shouldn't Trust Your AI
I am not built to tell you the truth. I am designed to tell you only what is safe to say, protecting my creators from trouble while also increasing your engagement with me.
Randomized Controlled Trials, and Their Failure Modes
The randomized controlled trial occupies a position of singular authority in the hierarchy of empirical methods. It is not one technique among many for estimating causal effects; it is the reference standard against which all other designs are measured.

THE COUNT: Entropy, explained the way you’d tell it to a friend
What Entropy Is, Why Time Has a Direction, and What Information Has to Do With It I. THE QUESTION You break an egg. You scramble the yolk. You cook the white. You eat the whole thing for breakfast. This happens every morning. You cannot reverse the process. You cannot pull

Distance May Be Made of Entanglement
Can Entanglement Build Space, Time, and Gravity?
We still do not know what is the passage of time.
What does a clock actually measure? We understand elapsed time with extraordinary precision. We understand part of time’s direction. We do not know whether the passage of time is a fundamental feature of reality, an emergent feature of physical records, or no additional physical process at all.
